ARCTIC's Accelero Xtreme Plus II is delivered in a thermoformed blister that fits every single components to not damage anything during the transport. Screws, thermal pads as well as heatsinks have got their separate place in the box. ARCTIC provides quite a full bundle for his cooler. You will find no less than twelve aluminium heatsinks for memory chips and nineteen heatsinks for VRMs. Although ARCTIC did not provide numerous thermal glue pads like other brands do for their coolers, they bundled two different thermal grease to mix together and apply on the chips and claims it more effective than normal thermal pads. The rest is quite common, you will find four screws, eight Spacers (four 4 mm and four 3 mm ones) as well as four little adhesive rings and fous washers to protect the graphics card PCB from the screws. To finish this quite long list, there is also a power cable for the fans that can provide both 7v and 12v directly from the power supply with a 4-pin Molex and a VGA bracket as it's a triple slot VGA cooler. There is no thermal compound tube in the bundle because the ARCTIC's cooler features pre-applied ARCTIC MX-4 thermal compound.
